Speaking of Soviet Mars probes - well, this is Mars 4, but I'll add something on Mars 3 soon...

Here's a map showing the coverage of Mars 4 images, two long scanned images and a mosaic of individual frames. Part of one scan extends into the other hemisphere. Ted Stryk provided the scans, I made the mosaic from images provided by Don Mitchell.

Yes, I could have been a bit more precise there. "Ted operated the scanning camera as he cruised past Mars"

I just thought it sounded like it said that I scanned images from Don Mitchell.
